foo_lirc plugin, LIRC compatibile remote control plugin! Options

[levsh]

Hello!

I want to announce foo_lirc plugin for controlling the FooBar2000 from a remote control. It is in the alpha stage of the development, but it already has the support for this features:

- configurable LIRC/WinLIRC server address and port
- supported player controls: play, pause, stop, prev.track, next track, track position and volume.

The plugin and its source code is available at SourceForge page, you may download binaries from here:
foo_lirc binary and sources

I'm waiting for comments and list of missing actions

Does anyone know if it's possible to include keyboard commands? That way one could use a button on the remote and assign it to page up, page down, return, up, down, etc. within the playlist? Right now this plugin does everything I need except for the ability to navigate playlists. Adding this feature would really make this plugin that much greater. If it's not possible, how are some of you getting around this?


EDIT: Possible bug?--Forgot to add, on a fresh start of foobar, button presses are quick and responsive. Over several minutes/button presses of use, a delay builds up and the button presses lag noticeably more than at the start. This happens only with foolirc (girder, irassistant, etc. all work fine), so it isn't a hardware problem I don't think. Not too big of a deal, just pointing it out and wondering if anyone else has had this issue.
